Amplifier Input Impedance


Why are so many high-power solid state amps designed with such low input impedances. Doesn't that really low input impedance limit the range of pre amps that can be used? Are there technical reasons why designers make these impedances so low? Why not design your muscle amp with a really high input impedance so it will potentially work well with all pre amps?

Hi Atmasphere, what is your opinion for a impedence match for a 100Kohm solid state amp that I do have, no matter a pre-amp is tube or solid state?, what impedences will work to best effect for both tube and solid state pre-amps?, Thankyou.
Thankyou Ralph, You are the man in my book!, I do learn alot from you and Almarg, the both of you gentleman are a asset to us all!, I agree, my 100kohm amp does not lack in bass at all., help me out here, what is 1/10th of 100kohms?
